Black Friday and First Shopping Saturday Cause Traffic Chaos in Vienna

Even without classic travel traffic, the ARBÖ expects massive traffic problems on Austria's roads next weekend – especially in the greater Vienna area. The reason for this is Black Friday on November 28 and the first shopping Saturday in Advent.

Friday: Black Friday brings early traffic jams

The bargain day attracts many people to shopping centers and shopping streets as early as late morning. Around Vienna, this will lead to delays on the Southern Motorway (A2) between Inzersdorf and Wiener Neudorf as well as on the B17. High traffic volumes are also expected on the A23 and the S2 in the north of Vienna.

Within the city, Brünner Straße, Mariahilfer Straße, Neubaugürtel, Nordbrücke, and Wagramer Straße are likely to become traffic hotspots. In the evening, return traffic mixes with the arrival to the Vienna Christmas markets – including on Ringstraße, 2er-Linie, Westausfahrt, and Grünbergstraße around Schönbrunn.

Saturday: First shopping Saturday brings additional burden

On November 29, the first shopping Saturday in Advent, the traffic situation will remain similarly tense. In Vienna, there is also a driving ban on the Inner Mariahilfer Straße and Neubaugasse – as on all Advent Saturdays. The traffic experts of the ARBÖ urgently advise using public transport.
